I’ve got a trip planned to the USVI on 7/25/20. I’m from TN, but my flight departs from Atlanta, Georgia. Do I need to have a negative Covid test? I want to do whatever it takes, but the rapid tests are not available for people who don’t have symptoms. The other tests take 5-10 days to get the results back. I know that you are requiring for the tests to be taken within 5 days prior to the flight. Do you have any guidance for me?
Sincerely,
Sarah
A proud owner of a small business that has survived the stressful closure and reopening of my business during COVID. This vacation means everything for my sanity. I’ve been taken all of the extra precautions to ensure that I do not contribute to the spread of Covid.
